Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was in vacation Bible school when I was 10 and one day at the sanctuary gathering before we went to our individual classes the Holy Spirit came over me…I actually felt it come
Into my body and it scared me to death…I was scared and I didn’t step out … I talked to my individual teacher that morning and she said to go home and sleep and pray about it and I did…the next day it was like the Holy Spirit entered my body again and this time I stepped
Out and gave my life to Christ!!!

I wouldn’t tell
My parents because I wasn’t sure how they would feel about it…at the time I didn’t recognize that it was the Holy Spirit but today I know without a shadow of a doubt that that’s what it was!!!

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

My dad!!! He was my high school coach and is my best friend to this day!!!

My time playing football at Clemson

My aunt dying of breastfeeding cancer and leaving her 13 year old daughter with me to continue to raise…that entire experience was amazing!!!

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

I have been molested…mildly but still

I have been a multi millionaire and lost everything

I have gone through a divorce

Wrapping It Up
